Dominion General Discussion / Re: uhhhhh
« on: September 06, 2015, 06:55:51 pm »look, when I mentioned an engine, I was talking about the first game engine.Just playing more cards doesn't guarantee that you win in Dominion...They were asking me if I bought more cards besides smithy and village, so I was saying I bought markets, cellars, a remodel, workshop and militias.
Well, in that case, the key card of your engine would be the Militia.

She is actually right if you are playing the base game
If all you play is villages +smithy, I doubt it's better than smithy bm

Village + Smithy is not an engine by itself, it needs more component.
Smithy BM > Village Smithy BM

I taught my mom how to play dominion. She wins cause I try out random things each game. She plays smithy bm. She says I get to many actions and not enough money. I tried to tell her about engines and combos but she doesn't listen. I got fed up. I used my smithy village engine and played really well. I won.
Now she doesn't like villages. what do I do?

I would get both.

Skipping it is certainly not a big mistake on that board, but I think getting one is slightly better.

« on: August 27, 2015, 10:38:28 am »I didn't even buy a mine or workshop. I'm using geronimoo's first game engine. Also, is opening militia silver or remodel silver better?I tried the first game engine against a BM player for the first time last night. I lost because often times before I got to the draw entire deck stage of it I ended up with terminal collision problems, leading me to not buy anything some turns. Is there an efficient way to trash things like estates and some coppers (replacing the coppers with silvers) to get to the draw entire deck stage quicker?
Thanks,
Nate
There is no way to be absolutely safe. If you get terrible luck a deck with terminals will always* lose to a money-based deck. Especially if you play with cards that require "friends" (Moneylender requires copper, Remodel loves Estates, Baron requires Estate, ...) However, also after you decide to go for "terminals" or "engine" or whatever you'd like to call it, you can play it safer or riskier. What riskier or safer implies depends a lot on the kingdom, but in the first game engine it mainly comes down to the number of Villages you play with. Do you barely have enough or do you have a lot of them?
A trap you should prevent is buying too many terminals. Workshop, Mine, Militia are all cards you want only one of. Remodel you also want one of, although maybe very close to the end a second one. It is much better to have one Mine and play it every turn because you're flooded with Villages+Smithies that draw your entire deck every turn, then to have multiple Mines you can't all play anyway.
If you want more advice, you should describe in more detail what you tried.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: The Slog
« on: August 15, 2015, 08:17:11 pm »The kingdom: Moat, Village, Bureaucrat, Militia, Remodel, Spy, Thief, Library, Witch, AdventurerHow would you counter the slog in a kingdom of bad cards? The other player is better than me so Slog vs Slog is not an option.
You want us to tell you how to outplay someone who is better than you? That's, uh, not necessarily something that can be done. If the best strategy is going to end up revolving to a slog, your best option is probably to play your best and hope to get lucky. But as Jack Rudd says, without knowing the kingdom, it's impossible to really suggest anything specific other than "play well"

Rules Questions / Re: Throne Rooms
« on: August 01, 2015, 04:53:13 pm »The rules are correct. It might help to think of it like this: Throne Room makes you play a card twice. This means that you literally play the card once, follow the instructions written on it, and when you've finished playing it for the first time, you play it again. It does not mean that you play the card once with its effect doubled.Exactly what I said.

« on: July 31, 2015, 07:48:02 am »good point.why didn't you give him your coppers?Assuming you mean 'the fronts', like LastFootnote said; still no.Gave my blanks away to a friend cause he was making custom cards.
- Copper runs out in a few cases, especially in multiplayer Mountebank games. So it would affect the game.
- There are actual blank cards in every box as far as I know.
- It's just blasphemy.
